Welcome to Palmer Woods, one of Detroit's premier historic neighborhoods. Characterized by diverse and engaged residents and architectural treasures, our historic enclave of about 300 homes is nestled west of Woodward Avenue and north of Seven Mile Road in a beautiful wooded, urban setting. On this site, learn about our community: the Palmer Woods Association, our history, services available to our neighborhood, news, events and more.

Neighborhood Standards

The Palmer Woods Association is very pleased that so many new residents have moved into our neighborhood within the past year. It occurred to us, however, that some residents, whether new or established may not be familiar with the practices, standards and guidelines that have been in place in this neighborhood for many years.

For this reason, the Palmer Woods Association Board has identified and developed a consolidated list of standards compiled from previously issued communications. The attached document, entitled “Palmer Woods Association Homeowner Standards,” outlines these standards.

Going forward, as Palmer Woods Board members are notified of deviations from these standards, a friendly letter will be sent to the applicable homeowner. We are confident that identified issues will be addressed promptly. If not, however, we will work with the homeowner and city to resolve the issue.

The list below will also serve as your reporting tool. If you see a violation of one of the Palmer Woods Association Homeowner Standards, simply check the box next to the standard that has been violated, add any additional information or comments at the bottom of the form, note the address of the violation and mail to: Palmer Woods Association, P.O. Box 21086, Detroit, MI 48221. Or you can take a picture of the form and e-mail it or just type up the information and send it to: preservation@palmerwoods.org

The process is COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS. From that point, the Preservation Committee will handle the matter.

Thanks in advance for helping to maintain the beauty, character and quality of life in Palmer Woods.
